Before we explain sleep apnea, let's quickly break down how breathing works. When you're awake, the muscles of your throat act to keep the airway straight and open so air can flow in and out of your lungs. When you sleep, these same muscles relax and your throat gets narrower. Normally, this doesn't close the airway, it just slows down breathing during sleep.
A male chicken under one year old is called a cockeral. A male chicken over a year old is called a cock, or rooster. A female chicken under the age of one is called a pullet. A female chicken over the age of one is called a hen. Not all chicks are hens. Chicks can be cockerals or pullets.
Although most people call the species peacocks, the word really only refers to the male bird. Just like among chickens, where the male is called a rooster or cock and the female is called a hen, male peafowl are peacocks, female peafowl are peahens, and babies are peachicks!ther animals donât mind, though. With their sharp eyes, peafowl are likely to be the first to see a predator and call out a loud alarm. Normally, when a peacock is just walking around, his train trails behind him but held just above the ground.
